Re: John M. Wright

There are several Wrights buried at Elmwood, in both the officers and enlisted men's sections. However none of those listed are documented as fighting for Arkansas.

I checked the Index for the 11th Ark. Inf., and did not see any Wrights listed there either.

There are several pages of unknowns listed in Confederates of Elmwood. And when they say "unknown," the only information they have is date of interment.

I'm sorry - I got really excited thinking we might be able to identify another vet.

If you have not already, you might try researching John M/N Wright at a really superb website for Arkansas Civil War soldiers created by a couple of men who have worked very hard at having accurate information.
